摘要: Seoul virus (57-7 %), hepatitis E (HEV, 73-5 Leptospira interrogans (65-3 Bartonella elizabethae (34-1%), and Rickettsia typhi (7-0 %) were detected in Norway rats. Endoparasites, including Calodium hepatica (87-9 Hymenolepis sp. (34-4 ectoparasites (13-9 %, primarily Laelaps echidninus) also present. The risk of human exposure to these pathogens is a significant public health concern. Because cause non-specific often self-limiting symptoms humans, infection populations probably underdiagnosed.
